New Digital Yacht AIT 5000- how to get AIS wifi to Open Plotter?

Hi,

So I just unboxed my brand new Digital Yacht AIT 5000. Obviously I am quite excited. I’m going to install it tomorrow. My chart plotter is an RPi 7” touch screen running Open CpN, Open Plotter, and Signal K. How do I get the AIS data over to Open Plotter? Do I put the AIT in station mode, or use it as an access point and put its TCP into Signal K?
Any advice appreciated. Much stoke for this thing…

It's a simple three step process.
1. Read the manuals.
2. Do you have an existing WiFi Access Point on the boat?
3. Go to step 1.

Connecting to or creating a WiFi Access point is a function of the underlying Raspberry Pi OS.
